It's been twelve years since the discovery of the grisley murders of Russell and Shirley Dermond. The couple lived in a beautiful lakefront property, Lake Oconee, Georgia.

The couple was expected at a Kentucky Derby watch party with neighbors, but didn't show up. When the neighbors reach out by phone, the Dermonds agaim don’t answer. Days later, arriving at the Dermond’s home, the neighbor is surprised to find the front door unlocked. The neighbor calls out their names to no reply.  

The neighbor looks in the garage to see if the Dermond’s car is there. The neighbor discovers Russell Dermond laying on the garage floor, decapitated.  The neighbor calls 911, racing around the house looking for Shirley Dermond, but she is nowhere to be found.  

Investigators begin a neighborhood search and beyond for Shirley Dermond, without success.  The search lasts for 10 days until two fishermen find her body in lake Oconee. Shirley Dermond has been dumped in the lake with cinder blocks tied to her legs. Her body is recovered about 5 miles from the Dermond home near the dam. Who killed Russell Joseph Dermond and Shirley Wilcox Dermond?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Atlanta Field Office and the Putnam County Sheriff's Office renew a call for information.
